I had the urge to set up a website for no particular reason than I had a couple of ideas and thought I would be interested in them so why not? My initial idea was one I had thought of for a while and was based on me occasionally wondering if a long unheard of celebrity was still alive or not. To be called Dead or Alive I felt it may be of passing interest to similarly forgetful people. Secondly I thought of writing a load of quiz questions, with answers, in varying categories that may be useful for compilers of pub quizzes called simply "Pub Quiz". Thinking it best to check the Internet first to see if nothing similar existed I was mildly disappointed to see that both were already fully fledged services with the same names - oh well always one step (at least) behind.
   A couple of quick lines to follow up previous posts: firstly with regards to the Royal Wedding it seems strange for the media to refer to Kate Middleton as a commoner. This is a word that just feels politically incorrect and applied by tabloid editors, many of whom had regular upbringings - comprehensive, redbrick universities, lorry driver fathers etc - to a public school educated daughter of a millionaire seems surreal and makes her sound like a chav. It doesn't say much for the rest of us.
   I did say a couple of lines but I can't be bothered now as it's getting late and now Ali is back from her first shift at the home I'll save it for another day (if I can remember or be bothered).
